Step 9. Finalize Instant VM Recovery

All VMs restored with Instant VM Recovery are displayed in the Backup & Replication view, under the Instant Recovery node.

To check the progress of Instant VM Recovery and view session details:

Open the Backup & Replication view.

In the inventory pane, click the Instant Recovery node.

Right-click the VM in the working area and select Properties.

Alternatively, you can open the History view, select the Instant Recovery node under Restore in the inventory pane and double-click the necessary instant VM restore session.

After the VM has been successfully recovered, you can finalize Instant VM Recovery in one of two ways:

Migrate the recovered VM to production

Unpublish the recovered VM

To migrate the restored VM to production:

Open the Backup & Replication view.

In the inventory pane, select the Instant Recovery node.

In the working area, right-click the VM and select Migrate to production. As a result, the Quick Migration wizard will be launched. During migration, Veeam Backup & Replication will restore a VM instance from the backup file and then additionally move the changes that were made while the VM was running in the Instant Recovery mode.
